He was forced to cede territories including Daulatabad, yielding an annual income of 15 lacs, and he pledged himself to liquidate the whole of the Marathas' claim amounting to 30 million rupees.

The sudden termination of Arastu Jah's administration by captivity at the Maratha court deprived the government of the Nizam of the service of an able minister.

Nizam Ali Khan tasked Raja Shan Rai Rayan to act as minister from the time Arastu Jah went to Poona until his return to Hyderabad in July 1797.

Nawab Arastu Jah, during his captivity in Poona, obtained much influence with the Marathas, so that before his return and reappointment as a minister, which took place in July 1797, he obtained the restoration of the territories ceded by the Nizam after the Battle of Kharda, the abandonment of claims from Chauth on Bida, the recession of the fort of Daulatabad and the extension of all the pecuniary claims on the part of the Maratha.
